Countdown to Christmas – My Advent Calendar

Since Christmas is now only one month away (seriously, can you believe this?!) and the 1st of December is already next sunday, I figured I’d do a post about my Advent calendar. Yeah I know, I’m 19 years old and some of you may think that I’m waaay to old for such things as Advent calendars, but… no, I’m definitely not. ^^ There’s something special about waking up in December and knowing that there’s a little surpise waiting for you, I can’t even imagine the time before Christmas without this tradition. It may be chocolate, small pictures, jewelry or – in my case – beauty products. Whoever had the idea of putting 24 small beauty products in an Advent calender was a genius, thank you SO much. You’re making many many women around the world very happy, including me. (;
Okay back to business now, let’s take a look at this year’s Advent calendar!

Some of you may already know this buddy, it’s the Advent calender from Douglas, which features not only beauty products, but also perfume samples and Douglas gift cards.
What’s new this year is that there are two calendars now, one for women and one for men. I really like that because last year (I also had one back then) the calendar featured also products for men, which can be great if you have a boyfriend or a father, who are interested in nice perfumes and lotions, but if not, then well, you wish for something more useful like your 27536 mascara.
Anyway, the products that are inside the Advent calendar are pictured on the back, but I forced myself not to take a look, since I want it to be a surprise. But I think I accidently saw that there will be a Lancome khol liner behind one of those tiny doors, yaaaay (in fact they aren’t even that tiny).
I am already so excited and I can’t wait for next sunday when it’s finally time to open the first door! What about you? Do you have an Advent calender this year?
